This is likely an elementary question, but I am having a challenge to get the formula for the Count of Children when I have the formula, for example, in a column B cell and I want to count the children of column A. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cindy,
I don't know what you are doing wrong because i can't see your formula
Here is my example. =COUNT(CHILDREN(A1))
I hope this helps you!

Thank you so much.
That worked, duh.
Now one more a little trickier:
Column "Month" is the parent. The children include names and other contact details for people who have filled out an online form to RSVP to a class.. RSVP is a column and each child has populated "Yes, No, or Maybe".
Currently my formula for the RSVP is: =COUNTIF(RSVP473:RSVP511, "Yes")
But, this requires me to constantly maintain the formula settings (e.g. rows 473 through row 511) each month as RSVP's come in.
How can I get a count of "Yes" RSVP's based on the children of Parent "Month" (row 472)
Hi again Cindy,
Happy to help!
Heres for the trickier one.

Is there a trick to creating a column of unique values for each row that will not change after it is created? I cannot use Auto-ID because the row then gets copied to another sheet that utilizes Auto-ID and Smartsheet limits that. I'm stuck and ChatGPT keeps making recommendations that don't work.
I have a sheet that has all of our orders on it. I have other sheets "Gantt" for each machine. I want each machine sheet to auto populate every order that is assigned to it, when an order gets assigned to the machine. I don't want to set an automation to copy the row from the orders sheet to the machine sheet because I…
Hi Community Facing a problem many others have posted about, but haven't seen a solution yet and wondered if it had been solved. I want to be able to add a row on a resource sheet for each project resource once a project has been set to 'X' on a Projects sheet. I have tried through automations but the daisy-chain limit…
